Well I wasn't really looking for a vise yet. I am still collecting and making tools.My forge is just something I threw together a few months back.I have been looking for a real anvil to replace my pieces of rail and steel plate .So; I pulled into a Barn sale while driving around central PA and I found this under a table. I wasnt sure what I was buying because like I said, I have been concentrating on an anvil and hadn't done any reseach on post vises. Was able to talk the guy down to $60 so how could I not grab it? I need to clean it up but from what I can read under the rust, its an Indian Chief and the numbers on the side say 70-80 . Hope to find more writing somewhere . BTW ; the jaws measure 5". Here are some pics ; I hope .
